It is the lisp which sage supports (they have a funding grant which requires that sage be installable from source on just about anything which has an existing C compiler) and the maxima tests consistantly show it as second only to compiled-to-machine-code lisps like sbcl. As such, it looks like it will continue to have excellent development and support for the foreseeable future. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
